Self confidence

I have low self confidence

You find it strange?

I am a girl

Will that make a difference at all?

I was taught

To keep my voice low

Don't held my head high

You are a girl

You need to be shy

No opinions for you

Your opinions are not valid

You are a girl

Learn how to sacrifice

Learn how to give up on your dreams

Learn how to cook and clean

You are a girl

You can't come home late in the evening

You are a girl

How can you live like this?

I have insecurities

Every time I try to speak

I think and over think

Should I express my feelings?

Should I say what I am thinking?

Or should I ignore it all

Accept its all my fault

Accept this is my fate

Does it matter if I love or hate?

With every step I take , I have a battle to fight

Not just with the world

But within my family inside

Will they ever change?

I am a girl

Not their servant or their slave
